    I swallow hard, my jaw tightening as I stare at him standing in front of me. I nod quickly. I definitely don't ever want to be on his bad side. "I swear to you on my life, it would never get to that point. I would rather jump back in front of that billboard than hurt her." The tension instantly e

  • He Chose His Step Mother, I Chose His Uncle   Chapter 328

    My chest feels like a malfunctioning engine, and for once, it has nothing to do with my fractured ribs. Internally, I am entering a state of panic.

    "You're in the city, but you never come to see me? You're like a ghost. A handsome and intelligent ghost, my son is." Mother’s voice rings out before I even reach the parlor.

    The sun hasn’t even fully cleared the horizon when the first ping pierces through my dreams. I groan, burying my face into the plush silk pillows of my bed, trying to block out the intrusion.

    Divorce. That's the only way forward, isn't it? I'm still standing and staring mute at the photo album in my hands. It doesn't make sense. Deckard? Georgia? How...? When?
